PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

No They are not. 2 Drawers in there are kind of a weird material so I am planning on having a couple replacements custom built.

 

Get dovetail! And granite countertops! Is your stove propane?

 

No its an electric stove, propane is only for the furnace. Really want some kind of heat source in the garage, way too damn cold in there, thinking one of those electric units I showed you before.

 

You want a gas stove...

What year was the house built and was it originally a heat pump?

 

I am happy with the electric stove, it works fine. This place was renovated back in the late 80s or early 90's, probably had a wood stove originally, lol.

 

No central air originally? Obviously it was not built in 1993...

 

Right, I highly doubt it had an original AC.

 

I have a generator for power outages, its a bit of a pain running extension cords so on my to do list is to have a transfer switch installed.

 

Unless it was a heat pump; My dad's friend in Cincinnati has a house that was built in the late 1980s and I believe it has a heat pump. From what I've seen in houses for sale online, electric heat is common in Ohio...

 

Yeah no chance this place had a heat pump, most places around here use propane for heat but there is one very small community that has natural gas.

 

When your house has a heat pump...



And outside...

 

The heat pump sounds too expensive for me with not enough positive benefits.

 

By itself, yes...

But with propane backup you'll save money!

 

I don't know if I would ever see a return on investment, with the current ancient system I spend about $1000 - $1200 per year on propane and I expect that number will go down with a more efficient furnace.

 

Get your technician to give you a quote on a heat pump/gas furnace version of that same Rheem system, just to humor me...

 

The "Heat" part of the 2 systems is far more important to me as I am always cold plus it sounds like a back up for a heat pump is needed, I would assume a heat pump would probably be about double in cost up front.

 

Seems like I would be dipping into the backup frequently thus eliminating most of the savings.

 

What’s everyone doing today?!

I've been thinking...

All producers of milk seem to use the same design of gallon milk jugs; Can you imagine how much the inventor of the modern gallon milk jug must be making?!?!

 

It is an efficient design.
